The BitTorrent BanHammer.

BitTorrent is ok. Using BitTorrent on your own network is your own business. Using BitTorrent on public wifi is not. BitTorrent aggressively soaks up bandwidth and connections, rendering other programs useless, and other users and admins frustrated.

Over a year of traveling, I've consistently struggled with broken wifi spots overloaded with torrent traffic. After talking with the frustrated non-technical people who owned/managed them, I wrote this program to help network users and owners.
